Away from the impending bloody storm in the Rideira region, they made their way through a barren area to the southernmost point of the West Coast, the two of them in the Soradin Heights, which unfortunately did not find a suitable job.

At this point, we have always liked to be thrifty, and Mila is naturally full of displeasure, although the two of them also received more than twenty silver coins of Ella as a reward in the previous Monroe incident, plus the reward they received when they carried out mercenary activities on the other side in the past, there are actually some deposits, but even if they have savings, sitting on the mountain will never be something that the hard-working Luoan girl will do.

Becoming a blue-card mercenary will make more money, but at the same time, the cost will be greater.

The maintenance and maintenance of armor and weapons, damaged armor needs to be repaired, and weapons usually need to be replaced directly - after crossing the Broken Canyon to this side, the money spent on replacing equipment alone has already made the girl go through three processes from distress to numbness to habituation.

She also understands the principle that you get what you pay for, at least the one-and-a-half sword in her hand now is enough to make people love it even if she looks at it alone, and the smooth and flat blade is incomparable to the gray texture of the common steel sword before, not to mention the worse weapons made of wrought iron, plus the superior center of gravity - it should be mentioned that the one-and-a-half sword in Mira's hand has a center of gravity further back from the gauntlet than Henry's greatsword.

The center of gravity in the front of the inverted V-shaped gauntlet is about seven to eight centimeters, which is specially tailored by Michael, an old blacksmith with many years of experience, according to the girl's body shape and physical strength, although the net weight of this one-handed half-hand sword is about 1.3 kilograms, but the use of a counterweight ball to balance the center of gravity and the use of both hands These characteristics make it an excellent weapon that even a twelve-year-old Luoan girl can easily grasp.

True. The lower center of gravity makes the slash weaker, but the sword skill itself has a lot of piercing and up-and-out moves. If it was just a chopping weapon, then she might as well just make a long knife.

Words go back to square one. It costs a lot of money to travel. It costs money to stay in a hotel, to change clothes, to eat, to maintain equipment, and even to raise horses and change horseshoes. Money, money, money, many countries in the barren Southern Basin region either don't have paid tasks or tasks that aren't right for them, but that has changed since coming to the Soradin Heights - the answer is clearly no.

The reason, in the final analysis, is the existence of the church.

In this small area of the basin, where the Church is moving upwards, the influence of the Church is the strongest. And where they have the ability to make decisions, the Mercenary Guild is limited at every turn.

Similar to the conflict between the steppe nomads and the church's philosophy, the mercenaries who advocate timely pleasure are naturally different from the church that demands abstinence and asks you to repent every day, and this difference in philosophy is coupled with the fact that the church has the support of the former Lamanite aristocratic army to exercise their power, and it is natural that the mercenaries cannot find a job in the country where the church has decision-making power.

In this way, the two naturally did not intend to stay in those places behind them for too long.

The Soradin Heights are not all controlled by the Church, and although the White Church is generally worshipped, there are some places where they are just ordinary temples of faith. Instead of being directly tied to the local lords.

Corey Conrad is one such kingdom.

While continuing to learn all kinds of knowledge,,While moving forward in order to find the mercenary's listing work.,It's about June.。 When the chirping of cicadas began to sound day and night, the two arrived at the destination of their trip.

If the most powerful country on the west coast, Sivaliers, is a country known as the "country of knights". Then Corey Conrad, perhaps, can be called "the country of mercenaries".

We didn't have it along the way. I've seen too many rumors about Corey Conrad, on the West Coast. In fact, not many people will mention this country. This has a lot to do with the nature of the country and the composition of the population that is present in large numbers in this country.

If a West Coast Saker were to fly over the country from above, it would find that Corry Conrad's entire country was shaped like one of the small rodents it used to catch, rats.

This small piece of land in the southeastern part of the Soradin Heights, surrounded by many neighboring states, is the essence of a kingdom that is only three city-states closely linked together - this country is even smaller than Avenella, so many wonder whether it should be called a kingdom rather than a city-state - the union of the city-states of Corikonrad as the ontology has a larger area than the Monroe capital on the Krarant side, and even more so if you count the surrounding villages. But perhaps the most striking thing about it is the long, long road that stretches from the Soradin Heights to the coastline, dotted with supply stations, inns, and all sorts of adventurers' shops.

-- Actually, we have to be clear about one thing, and that is that it is not Corey Conrad who came first, and then there is this path.

On the contrary, as the name suggests, the word Corikonrad derives from the lingua franca of the West Coast, which until then was the high local dialect of ancient Avenella. At that time, people did not call the Mobigas Inland Sea an inland sea, and the name of the sea for ordinary people was actually the same as the lake. So the word "Cory" in Corey Conrad actually means a lake - and the "Conrad" in the back means support, and "Conrad" means supporter.

Taken together, Corey Conrad means where the supporters of the people who go to work by the lake live, and the supporters of the mercenaries are, of course, their wives and children.

Long before the mercenary guilds were popularized with the Lamanites and the maritime trade on the West Coast, the men of Corey Conrad would often sail across the sea to fight in the East for their fortune - sometimes as robbers, but more often as mercenaries.

Since the Soradin Heights is already the end of the West Coast. If you go west to one of the peaks of the Tambur Mountains, the coastline of the southern part of the Moby Gas Inland Sea can even be directly visible to the eye, and the people here only have to start from the sea. Take the boat for a while and then turn southeast. You can land directly in the interior of Rigal and look for the dwarves and settlers on the other side.

The ease of movement of the seas, the shorter distances than the direct travel from the east and west coasts, combined with the fact that the men here had long been dependent on the sea for food, and in addition to fishermen, they also had a side job as mercenaries who would fight for them in the face of foreign people. And after an organization like the Mercenary Guild moved in, naturally, everything began to flourish.

Today, Corey Conrad has many mercenary groups that are well-known to the countries of the East and the South. They don't have much contact with Avenella and Sivalier in the north, so our stories have never mentioned the existence of these mercenaries.

Words go back to square one. As a country with a flood of professional mercenaries, there are naturally various needs, and although the vast majority of them are missions related to expatriate wars, Henry and Mira should be able to find a suitable mission for them here.

The horse's hooves rattled, and the two men who came here on horseback were no longer so conspicuous, because of their proximity to the grassland, there were far more people riding horses here than in the place behind them.

The horses of the prairie were lower than those ridden by Henry and Mila, and they were not very capable of sprinting, but they were full of stamina. Compared to the tall, robust, weight-bearing and acceleration horses of Avenella, each has its own advantages.

The horse is a spiritual animal, and many of the riders are naturally horse lovers, and with the Avenella-style saddle, the two did not attract the attention of the common people as they did in the past. However, it attracted the attention of many mercenary colleagues.

The sage with the big sword on his back came here, and he was like a leaf hidden in the forest, and among the mercenaries on horseback walking on the street, there were not a few who carried a giant sword on their backs, and most of them had already exceeded the length of one meter and a half. Most of these greatswords, one palm wide, are made of thick wrought iron and have an axe-like blade. To some extent, it should be regarded as a combination of "sword" and "axe".

It would be a great deal to elaborate on the origin of such greatswords, so we will only summarize them here.

In the era when the metal smelting process was not yet developed. Weapons are usually made larger to be less easily damaged, but even then they usually don't use such heavy and sluggish weapons against human-sized targets. Therefore, this kind of giant sword, which is usually at least eight kilograms or more, and the largest can be more than ten kilograms, at the beginning, is actually a tool similar to weightlifting to hone arm strength and wrist strength.

It became a practical weapon and began to enter the lives of mercenaries, which was inseparable from the expansion of the human living environment, and when the population began to increase and people began to have to migrate to areas that were previously considered uninhabitable, it was inevitable that there would be disputes with some large carnivorous beasts that existed in the local area, and the poor land and climate in some areas were not suitable for cultivation, so people who were in urgent need of food naturally locked their eyes on some large herbivores.

Spears and bows and arrows take a considerable amount of effort and time to bring them down, and once they provoke these huge beasts to charge towards them, people can only turn and flee.

When a longbow warrior who only had brute strength and did not know how to use it carried this heavy polesword that could be used as a blunt weapon and smashed the skull of a young dinosaur crocodile to successfully save several hunters, this weapon inevitably began to gradually become valued.

In the final analysis, the existence of the greatsword is similar to the stabbing sword in the weapon of the human weapon - or the swift sword, except that one of the two takes the extreme route against the beast, and the other takes the extreme route against the man.

"Green card...... Blue Plate ...... Blue Plate ...... A lot of blue cards. Mira on horseback looked from side to side, she had never seen so many of her peers acting in the same place at the same time since becoming a mercenary, many of them were following them in the opposite direction, the two of them were coming all the way from the northeast direction, and these people were obviously going east to the port to carry out the mission.

"The front doesn't seem to let the horses pass. Henry, who was in the first place, suddenly turned around and said, Mira also looked over there, Cory Conrad's mercenary guild was more ornate than Prospel, the capital of Sivalier, it was said to be the result of the previous pole with the branch over there, the people of Corey Conrad felt that this branch was more suitable as the headquarters of the West Coast, but in the end, the people on the side of Padrosi chose Sivalier, and the reason is - we can see it now.

Corey Conrad was originally established to support the mercenaries who were going out.

In other words, these three cities, as well as this kingdom, exist for the sake of these mercenaries - in other words, they are xenophobic.

There were, and to some extent more than Prospel, but the natives of Corey Conrad believed that all of them belonged to their young people, and that even if they were both mercenaries, the conditions between foreign and local mercenaries were never equal.

The mercenary union is a transnational neutral profit-making organization, the more people they can make, the more money they can make, and Corey Conrad's approach is tantamount to enclosing all the interests in a small circle, in the short term, the tasks are indeed done by capable people who are familiar with the local environment, there is no foreign novice, there is no large number of failures, and the superb task completion rate naturally brings high rewards.

"What's wrong! Let someone who has the power do these tasks. With that in mind, the men of the Corey Conrad branch were arrogantly repelling the mercenaries from outside. However, capable mercenaries will grow old, and as time goes on, more and more tasks will be carried out, and the people of this small country will no longer be able to digest everything.

Eventually, they compromised, but even now, this kind of "relationship" style of "going to the relationship" that favors the local mercenary families still exists.

Local residents can go in directly, but when the mercenaries from outside come to the area of the city close to the mercenary guild, they must dismount and register.

"Where are the horses to be kept?" asked Henry, stepping forward to the men on the other side of the platform, who had a lot of books on them, and they were all expensive things, so it was quite dangerous not to leave them in a guarded place.

"Huh?" the person in charge of registration was a small man, who was in the pergola made of wood, and looked up at Henry as he picked his nose.

"Whoa, so high, little brother northerner?" he didn't answer directly but began to talk, Henry nodded in reply, and then continued to ask, but it was at this time-

A series of chaotic footsteps sounded from behind him, and the sage and the girl looked back together.

"Wait, that's my book!" a girl with long blond hair chases a figure with a red-haired mercenary.

The girl was sweating profusely for a while, and seemed to be physically exhausted, holding her knees and began to wheez, her skin was fair and transparent, she looked like the eldest lady of a noble family, and the red-haired mercenary in front of her chased after her at a very high speed, and he didn't even lose his breath, his running speed was so fast, the thief who snatched their books was directly startled, and then rushed towards Henry and them.

His eyes were very keen, and he immediately noticed the book that the two sages had placed on horseback, and one of them sprinted over and threw it at them, and shouted, "Boss, I have grabbed this book for you!"

The red-haired mercenary stopped, the thief ran away, Henry turned, and then noticed something, his expression changed slightly.

"Orange ......," Mira muttered quietly.

"Are you, his boss? The red-haired mercenary turned his head, and Mira immediately noticed that his eyes didn't seem to be in focus, and he seemed to be visually impaired.

"Forget it, don't say much-" "Qiang-" He drew a half-sword from his waist and swooped towards Henry. (To be continued.) )
